Marathon Data Systems, based in Neptune, N.J., and the Florida Pest Management Association (FPMA) will merge efforts for a 2015 conference combining the Marathon PestPac User Conference and the FPMA Pest & Lawn Care Expo. The event will be held at the Embassy Suites in Kissimmee, Fla., January 19-23.

“The FPMA is one of the most innovative and largest regional associations in the industry,” said Chris Sullens, president and CEO of Marathon Data Systems. “The heavy overlap in our respective user bases and our industry leadership positions made the decision to combine our events a simple one. By creating a new, more robust event, we’re giving PestPac users, FPMA members, attendees and sponsors the most bang for their buck. No other pest control industry conference can offer as much in a single location as we will with The Marathon PestPac User Conference and FPMA Pest & Lawn Care Expo.”
